A very rare pocket in the sand. Briar is the root ball of the tree in a sandy region, it is hard to find a piece that has straight grain all the way around in a piece large enough to make a pipe with no sand pits or variations and a craftsman skilled enough to see it in the block, as well as able to bring it out in the pipe (then to sand it/stain it... bla, bla, bla, properly)... too many things to discuss here.
